Anyone else not named Jacob Epperson we could go hard after? He seems like a stretch, with that being said they should still pursue him for sure. Maybe pocket the final scholly?

I'd assume the plan is to go after another big man. Epperson would be perfect. Like Jacob said, they can be very selective. I assume we'll only go after someone our staff loves. Pocketing the last scholly isn't a bad last-resort.
 
Does anyone know if we are in on any other big outside of Epperson. Would love the kid, don't think we've had a player with his skill set in a while, but we are in tough competition. We need to put on the full court press. Is there any other player out there that we may go after?
 
When will we get our third commit on all of the sites like 247, Scout, ESPN and Rivals? I think this is more of a Chad question.
 
Could you guys imagine the size we would have if we landed Epperson.

For 2017-2018 season:
Washington-6'9
Brooks -6'11
*Epperson-6'11
Nsoseme-6'9
K. Williams-6'5
Cumberland-6'5
Evans-6'6
Clark-6'8
Moore-6'8
Scott-6'8

I mean even without him we are big but man that would be awesome.

It would be great but my concern here is that we already have 6 bigs on the roster for '17-'18. Washington and Clark slated to start. I would imagine Nsoseme could redhsirt. Moore, Brooks, and Scott. Perhaps we can get Scott to work on his handles and perimeter shooting so he can play the 3 at some point.

The following year when Washington and Clark leave I would think it would be easier to land a high profile big. It's not going to be easy to land a 7th BIG...especially one looking for significant immediate playing time. If we do land one...I could see another player potentially transferring out.

I totally agree on this point. I think we should wait till next year for another big guy. I really think we need at 6'7 small forward to help spread the floor out. It doesn't even need to be shooter because we already have Moore and Williams who are shooters. I am thinking like a James White player someone who is more of a Slasher.

I agree. I think we keep the team we have for 2017-2018 season. Maybe even red shirt Nsoseme. We don't have enough playtime. 2018 class should have a top 100 big man along with a top 100 PG. we will have playing time for them.

Very good point. I like your thinking on that. 👌

I posted an interview between Dan Hoard and Cronin in the 2016-2017 season thread and Cronin said, and I paraphrase, " fans will love Tre Scott because he will remind them of Justin Jackson. He is a better outside shooter. Maybe not right now but eventually he will be an outside threat." So, I think Scott overtime will be able to play both the 3 and the 4 with confidence.

I would love to see Scott working hard on this type of game. I don't see him as a back to the basket guy...so for his future I think it would be a great avenue for him. I guess he could also beef up and work on post moves.

That's good news. I will take a role playing younger JJ from Scott this year. Hi motor do the dirty work type of stuff. By junior year it would be great to see him knocking down 35 percent from 3...and improved slashing.

All this being said...you take Epperson in a heartbeat if you can get him
Click to expand...

Absolutely. The beauty of the Williams commitment is that the staff can now be very picky with their final scholarship for next year. If they don't get the guy they want, they don't need to take a chance on a player they aren't sure about and can pocket the scholarship for the next year. If they can get Epperson, home run!

I hope we don't ever need Scott to be a post up, back to the basket guy.

I'd like to see him have both. Clark showed good 3 PT range last year and a back to the basket. While Scott is probably not a back to the basket big like Clark he will board well and has better handles. I really think you are going to like his game. Everything I hear is he is doing very well.

UNC head coach Roy Williams will complete an in-home visit this evening with 2017 Pickerington Central big man Sterling Manley, per source

Sounds like his leg is doing better.
